Price Advice 2011 iMac Trade-in

I am thinking of trading on my 2011 27: iMac, this is what i have: Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. Through Apple website they are offering me on trade-in $935.I would like to upgrade to latest iMac 3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz with 3TB fusion drive.

Do you think this is a reasonable offer? Thanks much. My iMac is in good shape. I am not crazy about selling on Craigslist. Thanks much, Bill

As a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), and Amazon for prices of similar models, to get an idea of what a reasonable price may be. Then adjust the price to account for condition, configuration, remaining AppleCare coverage (if any), etc. You can also check the Apple refurbished store to see what similar models are selling for.

Apple does not offer a trade-in program, your are probably confusing their recycling program with a trade-in.

Semantics or not, if they are you giving you $900 bucks for what you send them, its cash for a used product. I like that!

Except you could get more than that by selling it yourself. You may get around $1300 - $1400 by doing so because it's an custom built iMac with i7. Only it depends on whether you are willing to do it or not.
